What evidence or activity has this organization done? Does anyone know? I have searched the news and can not find any incident of violence or wrong-doing that relates to this group.

Richard Poplawski, a member of Stormfront and GRPAC, shot and killed 3 Pittsburgh police officers on April 3.

bombed courthouses in the 60's and complained that they didn't do enough. Later, they went on to become tenured college professors.

oh wait...

Based on what people like Obama and Murtha have said, some of these extremists have joined the military where they terrorized women and children in Iraq.

They fully support our soldiers, but call them extremist terrorists.

They didn't bow to Obama the great and worship the government when told to.

As you can see by some of the comments in this thread, part of the problem is that the term 'right-wing extremist' can refer to any number of groups, depending on what the speaker's idea of a 'right wing extremist' is. It can be used to reference anything from a conservative/evangelical Christian to a member of the military, to groups such as the KKK or Aryan Nation. Obviously, many of these groups would not identify (or wish to be identified with) other groups often lumped under this term. That's one thing that makes a report like this dangerous - it is way too open to interpretation.

What "bill" are you referring to?

Since when are white supremacists "right wing"? Are they for less government or something? Are black supremacists right wing or left wing?

What have right-wing extremists done? Nothing. That's why they're called "extremists." They're extreme about never doing anything.

Since they've been accused of anti-Obama activity, they should get out there and ... .

Stormfront and the Aryan Nation endorsed Ron Paul for President. I would consider that right wing.

Has anybody read the report? They also talk about "lone wolves", and cite a specific example.

Aren't they Neo-Nazis?

If so, that would put them firmly on the left.

Maybe because they were under every rock and actively running espionage and infiltration during the cold war. It's not paranoia if they're really out to get you.

The report doesn't even mention left wing extremists at all which is a dismissing by omission.

Thus the sarcasm of the post.
